A Fun But Tiring Sunday

We had a long day today (Sunday) and are ready to hit the sack. However, I did want to post a few photos from our flights to Kiev. We can't figure out how to caption under each photo yet so here are the captions:

Photo #1: Checking in at the airport

Photo #2: Summer boarding her FIRST flight ever - very nervous but also very excited.

Photo #3: At the airport in Frankfurt, Germany

Photo #4: Summer wide awake before boarding our flight from Germany to Kiev

Photo #5: Summer asleep within minutes of leaving the runway in Germany

I will close with a wonderful email we received from Tatyana today. I have included the English translation first followed by her original email in Russian. She is such a sweet child with such a big heart and we can't wait until she is part of our family!!

Hi Sunny, Summer, Steve,

I am very glad that I will see you soon. Larisa (note: her teacher) has told me that you will arrive to see me on October 6.

This news has pleased me.

I very strongly wait for you.

Yours, Tatyana Sara Jewell (note: this is the name she has chosen)

I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
